Peer-Server Configuration Mode Commands

Mode

The Peer-Server configuration mode provides the commands to define and manage the peer server configuration part of the SS7 routing on an SGSN.

Exec > Global Configuration > SS7 Routing Domain Configuration > Peer-Server Configuration

configure > ss7-routing-domain rd_id variant variant_type > peer-server id server_id

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[local]host_name(config-ss7-rd-ss7rd_id-ps-id-peer-server_id)# 

Important


The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).



Important


For information on common commands available in this configuration mode, refer to the Common Commands chapter.

Syntax

name name 
no name 

no

Removes the peer server's name from this configuration instance.

name

name: Must be a string of 1 to 64 alphanumeric characters to define a unique identification for the peer-server within the specific SS7 routing domain. Double quotes must be used to create a name that includes spaces.

Usage Guidelines

Create peer server names that are easy to remember and uniquely identify the PSP.

Example

Use this command to create an easily remembered alphanumeric name for the peer-server:
name "Berlin West" 

psp

Creates the peer-server-process (PSP) instance and enters the PSP configuration mode. See the PSP Configuration Mode chapter in this guide for information on the configuration commands.


Important

id

Uniquely identifies the specific peer-server-process configuration.

In releases prior to 15.0, id must be an integer from 1 to 4.

In release 15.0, id must be an integer from 1 to 12.

In release 21.5, id must be an integer from 1 to 32.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to define the peer-server-process (PSP) instance ID number for the SGSN configuration.

Example

Use this command to create instance #3 for the PSP configuration:
psp instance 3 

routing-context

Defines the ID of the routing context for the peer-server to use.
